Remark: The problem sets usually appear little less than two weeks before the corresponding problem session. A problem set is satisfiable solved when at least 25% are reached. A problem set is successfully solved when at least 50% are reached.

To gain admission for the oral exam, one of the following conditions have to be accomplished:

Every problem set is satisfiable solved.

All but one problem sets are satisfiable solved and at least two problem sets are successfully solved.

It is allowed to work in groups up to three students. We highly recommend to work in groups.

Final Grade-Bonus:

- A bonus of 1/3 is gained when all problem sets are satisfiable solved and at least three of them are successfully solved.- A bonus of 2/3 is gained when at most one problem set is only satisfiable solved and all others are successfully solved.

The bonus can only be used to improve the final grade of the exam, when the exam itself is passed.
